FAQ COVID-19
What is the difference between a PCR test and a rapid antigen test?
Both tests are performed on a nasopharyngeal swab. The rapid antigen test is less sensitive and specific than the PCR test but has the advantage of providing a result within 30 minutes. It is now accepted for travel by several European countries.
What is the sensitivity of a rapid antigen test?
The sensitivity of a rapid antigen test varies depending on the kit used. The kits used by Bionext are CE marked and are among the most sensitive on the market.
Is the test covered by the CNS?
The rapid antigen test is not covered by the CNS. The cost is €19.
Do I need to make an appointment for my rapid antigen test?
The rapid antigen tests are performed without appointment at our Picken Doheem centres and at our COVID-19 centre in Leudelange (/en/patients/prelevement/centres-de-prelevement). It is necessary to register on our platform Safeplace.lu to obtain a unique and personal QR Code to present to the nurse.
How do I register for a rapid antigen test ?
Go to your app myLAB or to www.safeplace.lu/onboarding to register online. The online payment of your test will generate a QR code to be presented at the sampling centre. No appointment required.
